Dr Oyinwola Oni, a Lagos based DNA
expert says that 40% of men do not know
that they are not the biological fathers of
their first child. Dr Oni said this while
sharing his experience on how a former
girlfriend wanted to force a set of twins on
him. What he told City People below is
quite interesting.
"How I got into doing DNA is an
interesting story which all man should
learn from. I lost my wife about 6 years
ago. About that time there was a lady I
have known for long in Nigeria but who
now lives in the UK. I now said I will be in
Germany on so,so date , can you come
and see me? She came in November and
we were together for four days. She left. I
left. I got back home. I lost my wife four
weeks after that. Then she became
pregnant. She didn't tell me. She didn't
tell me. She waited for a year. After a
year, she said she just wanted me to
know what she did in Germany, that she
now has twins for me-a boy and a girl. I
said now that I can't say anything. I am
bereaved.
Give me time. How do you want my in-
laws to react. Do you know at the 1st
year birthday, I was in London with a
friend. We did one year birthday for the
kids. They were pulling trolleys around
with the baby. After 2 years I bought her a
car. After 4 years of loosing my wife, I
now said let us now review the situation
and see whether we can marry. As God
will have it, I knew in my mind that I will
do DNA before I marry her. Infact, we
were even getting a room ready for her in
my house. The carpenter was working.
She was in the UK dictating what she
wanted. I traveled to the UK. I carried her
mother. Before I left, I told my brother this
is what is happening. I am going to carry
this woman to go and DNA if these
children were mine. I will now ask them to
come for the Ileya festival. We got there
she was happy. I took her sample, took
the children's sample. We submitted the
sample at the DNA center. We went to
Italy together. We went for dinner
together. Then I came back. When she
was going home one night, I said let me
check my mail. I did. The result of the
DNA had come. I was not the father of the
twins. Haa! I failed with 0%. If not for the
medical lab scientist, those children will
be in my house now, with me thinking
they are my children. I can tell you this
happens to so many men. Do you know
that 40 percent of most of the 1st born
don't belong to their so called biological
fathers, all over the world. Reason? Most
of there ladies often have one or two
boyfriends"he said
Asked why the woman decided to con him
into believing he fathered the children, he
said
"I told her, lady from the result, I am not
the father of your kids but I will help you. I
explained to her, we met in November,
you gave birth in August, perfect. That is
the time. You can't force that on any
clinical person. Any pregnancy month
minus 3 will give to the AAA. We got
9(Day 9). I asked her a few questions. So
how come? She was to confess to me that
because I said she should take the next
available flight from Heathrow to Cologne,
the first flight was 6pm and where she
was, was very far. She had to stay with a
male friend that was living close to
Heathrow and that was her day 10. She
said one thing led to another and she had
sex with the guy. She came to meet me on
the 11th and she ovulated around that
period. She didn't know. Atimes women
know, atimes they don't. A woman
ovulates only one day in a month and it
last for about 10 hours. And sperm can
stay in a woman for 48 hours. So a lady
can have 2 to 3 types of sperm in her
system and when she now ovulates, any
sperm that is fertilised can immediately
hit that egg. That was what happened to
her. So, the sex she had on the 9th of that
month, the sperm was still there till 11th
when she now ovulated. Before we met on
the evening of the 11th, the egg had been
fertilised. There are so many homes
where they have this kind of problems"
